The Large Hadron Collider is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator complex, intended to collide opposing beams of protons charged with very high energy.
A lot of people were afraid that turning on the machine could destroy the world. They thought that the collider would create mini-black holes that last long enough and get big enough to turn into a matter-sucking maelstrom.
News from the LHC website shows everything went fine and nothing happened.
Well, not according to these webcams. One is looking at the Underground Experimental Cavern, the other is looking out of the window of the 1st Floor of the SCX building that houses the CMS Control room.
